In'said figure, l indicates the outer casing or shell 'of the lamp,' 2the parabolic :reflector therein, and 3 the'ring for clamping the headlight glass or lenses in place.

The device of my invention comprises two relatively thin translucent discs 5, GLY These discs may be made of paper or other translucent inateri al which willV transmit light Saidl discs are provided with a plurality of holesor apertures 7, S distributed over the saine and arranged withthe holes?- in(4 one disc staggeredor'otlset l'roni'the holesV `8 in the other disc7 so that'the holes inthe r respective discs will be covered by the iinpertorate portions of the other disc when the discs are placed one against the other, as shown in Figs. 2 and 23.'
